  • Delightful way to tour Bridgetown

    Imagine visiting a friend and having them take you on a tour of their favorite spots. And that the friend is also a local historian. It was a delightful experience, and we learned much about a town we had visited many times previously. The food samples from local vendors were an unexpected and wonderful touch.

  • Bright light on Barbados

    If experience, intelligence and depth in historical facts were a person, they would be Claudette. Her narration of historical events is very satisfying and captivating.

    My husband and I booked this tour on our first trip to Barbados because we wanted to truly understand the island—its people, culture, and history—and it exceeded all expectations. Claudette was fantastic: incredibly knowledgeable, warm, welcoming, and thoroughly professional! Our tour group was about 10 people, spanning a wide range of ages and backgrounds (from 20-somethings to retirees, and from North America, Europe, and Africa). Claudette guided us through Barbados’ pre-colonial, colonial, and post-independence history. She is a true historian: someone who is not just interested in historical information but also in how it affects the world we live in now. Barbados is beautiful, and the culture is vibrant—but without understanding the deeper history, you’re missing a huge part of the experience. This tour ties it all together in a meaningful and memorable way. Highly recommend—book it and enjoy!

    We had such a great tour of Bridgetown with Claudette. She’s a historian and an absolute fountain of knowledge, but also a fantastic storyteller of Barbados' history— as history lovers, it felt like a perfect match for us. Our warmest recommendation: yes, the beaches are magical and it’s hard to leave them, but it’s absolutely worth spending a morning with Claudette to to understand (and admire) Barbados even more!

    A wonderful fascinating historical walking tour around Bridgetown with Claudette a passionate local historian. What Claudette doesn't know isn't worth knowing and her enthusiasm is infectious! The pace is gentle and suitable for all, with regular stops to appreciate and absorb the history of where you are. Claudette supplies a bottle of iced water at the begining and then treats you to some local delicacies enroute.

  • Insightful living history I will always remember

    Immensely enjoyable, close-up introduction to Bridgetown's history and population. Claudette started us off with introductions, creating a cohesive and friendly international group. I was awed by her encyclopedic knowledge as a trained historian, plus her passionate opinions and connection to her country. The walking pace and distance were easy but every step counted--the shady spots appreciated. We zoomed from big picture to small details (the cannons on street corners). Thank you Claudette and best wishes!
